Summary
Lukas Kades is a data scientist with nine years of experience combining rigorous probabilistic machine learning and statistical modeling with creative problem solving, currently working at BASF. He holds a PhD in theoretical and mathematical physics and two M.Sc. degrees (Applied Computer Science and Physics), which underpins his ability to translate complex theory into practical ML and NLP solutions for protein engineering. His background spans academia and industry—from postdoctoral NLP research to building probabilistic simulation frameworks and software for data generation—demonstrating comfort across experimental, modeling, and production contexts. Based in Freiburg, Germany, he thrives in interdisciplinary, international teams and brings a knack for applying advanced probabilistic methods to real-world biological and engineering problems. An understated strength is his track record of turning rigorous academic research into deployable tools that address domain-specific challenges.
